This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every persons position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the FAQ and RULES.

Thanks for post that. My first thought is that most of the people braying here haven't read and won't read it. There has been a great deal of background information - various reputable sources and over a period of time - that help paint the big picture. In fact, it seems that they are all convinced that this is all about email hacking. That alone tells us they haven't brought themselves up to speed. Also, it tells me that they aren't going to read detailed information you might provide.

First, they will deny it even though they don't really understand what exactly they are denying

Second, if the information is determined to be credible and is reported as such they will attack the source and continue their denial.

Third, they will discount the value and implications of the truth. Part of that will be because they haven't done due diligence and won't.

I'm not going to bother to look it up here but I know that some of the people braying about the story and demanding truth or nothing at all are some of the same people who were all over Clinton's and the DNC emails before the facts were known.

The only distraction you left out that I see from the GOPrussians is tds--trumpistan deflection syndrome.

Btw, a source I'm using for data on the congressional district method of the EC has trump leading 191 to 185 with only FL, PA, KS, and NC remaining to be scored.

Add in 60 for trump's 30 states and 40 for Clinton's 20 states and you get 251 to 225.

trump will pull ahead of 270 of course with those 4 states.

Keeping in mind Romney would have beaten Obama 273-265 with this method, DEMs got completely outplayed in 2014.

The data is without lean but the source would be rhetorically shot down.

So far, 18 GOP representatives won in Clinton won districts while 11 DEM reps won in trump CDs.

You're good then with what we do know about Trump's Russian connection. You've never seen any red flags? Nothing that would make you cautious?

List what "we do know" about Trump's "Russian Connection" and I'll let you know.

If I stop responding it doesn't mean I've conceded the point or agree with you. It only means I've made my point and I don't mind you having the last word. Please wait a few minutes before "quoting" me. I often correct errors for a minute or two after I post before the final product is ready.

Not a chance. I'm not playing games. There is a great deal of background information re Trump and Russian money going back years, we both know that. Many sources, we both know that. Assume I know everything you know, assume you know everything I know and let's start from there.

Sorry man. I don't assume anything if I can help it. One of the lessons I learned in the Army. Assuming makes an ASS out of U and ME.

Call him whatever you like. I'm not falling for it any more than I fell for most of what was said about Obama. The evidence here is no more compelling. It's just being packaged and presented by a different production company.
